The state Senate is scheduled to vote today on HB 87, Georgia’s controversial attempt at cracking down on illegal immigration.Opposition to the bill — which has become increasingly fervent as the legislative session nears its end — has continued to grow. From the AJC:

“[O]n Monday, activists presented [Gov. Nathan] Deal’s office with 23,000 petition signatures urging him to stop the measure. Additionally, the head of the Korean American Association of Greater Atlanta last week sent state lawmakers petitions signed by more than 4,000 Korean Americans from Gwinnett County who are opposed to the legislation.”
